Orange Kloof

OSM map

Orange Kloof is a protected area and several of the routes listed need an Orange Kloof Permit (marked OKP). This can be obtained from the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) offices at Kloof Nek or Tokai or call 021 422 1601/2.

This is a popular area and permits limit numbers to 12 people per day, so booking well in advance is recommended.

Unless you a member of the Mountain Club of South Africa, an approved Orange Kloof guide is also required. (Makes a good reason to join the MCSA!) Incidentally the MCSA 1952 Route list booklet describes many routes between Intake Ravine and Myburgh's Waterfall ravine but they are overgrown and not particularly pleasant.

The climbs on the western side (Myburgh's Ravine, Myburgh's Waterfall Ravine and Myburgh's Corner) can be accessed from Suikerbosie or Farrier way (see map) and do not need a permit. Agatha's, Cavemans Overhang and Wynberg Caves can be reached from Constantia Nek and also do not need a permit.

Note: Agatha's Gully and Constantia Corner are sort of part of Orange Kloof, but are included in TM East
